O Gracious God

Come live through me today, 
O gracious God;
Pour out to those I meet
Your precious love.
Take this broken bread,
This is all I am;
Bless it with Your power and life 
To give again.
And come live through me today,
O gracious God.

Father, forgive my sin;
Free my heart to be
More like Your own true Son,
In love and purity.
Take this heart of stone,
This vessel made of clay;
Make this wand’ring will Your own
And turn it to Your way.
And come live through me today,
O gracious God.

Come, O come,
Come,
Come dwell in us today.

Father indwelling Son,
Spirit ever free,
Come make Your home in us,
This holy mystery.
Christ the coming King,
Yet in His servants breathes:
The body of the risen Lord 
In frail humanity.
Come live through us today, 
O gracious God;
Pour out to those we meet
Your precious love.
